One Unhappy Guy

In a 5,000-word cover article in New York magazine this week, Alec Baldwin took aim at Shia LaBeouf (“a jailhouse mentality”), his former MSNBC colleagues Joe Scarborough (“neither eloquent or funny”) and Rachel Maddow (“a phony who doesn’t have the same passion for truth off-camera that she does on air”) and Anderson Cooper of CNN (“the self-appointed Jack Valenti of gay media culture”). Mr. Baldwin’s admission that “I find myself bitter, defensive, and more misanthropic than I care to admit” didn’t find much disagreement on Twitter.

Just read the Alec Baldwin piece in New York Mag. The last time this many bridges were burned on one day was late in World War II.
